Generic PPR Submission Template - Community Collaborations to Strengthen and Preserve Families Semiannual ACF Performance Progre

Request for approval under the clearance of the “Generic Performance Progress Report” OMB control Number: 0970-0490

T ITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Community Collaborations to Strengthen and Preserve Families Semiannual ACF Performance Progress Report; Appendix B - Program Indicators

PURPOSE: Appendix B of the semiannual Administration for Children and Families (ACF) performance progress report (SAPR) requests information on the programmatic and evaluation activities conducted by the grantee during the reporting period as well as activities planned for the next reporting period. The data collection request tailors the standard ACF Performance Progress Report Appendix B to request information that is specific to the Community Collaborations to Strengthen and Preserve Families grantees. It also requests information about dissemination activities and implementation- or evaluation-related technical assistance needs. Grantees are also invited to attach any supporting documents to provide additional insight about their project work, such as Continuous Quality Improvement reports, evaluation reports, press releases, or updated implementation or evaluation plans.

Information from the report will be used by the Children’s Bureau (CB) to meet grants management requirements. The Building Capacity to Evaluate Child Welfare Community Collaborations to Strengthen and Preserve Families (CWCC) project – an effort led by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) in its work to advance the evidence around collaborative approaches to preventing child abuse and neglect – will also use information from the SAPR in their cross-site evaluation (OPRE will submit a full information collection request related to the evaluation). The CWCC team collaborated with CB on the development of the tailored SAPR to ensure information collected is not duplicated through the two efforts. For example, the CWCC will use the information reported by grantees to tailor interview protocols for the evaluation. Information from the SAPR may be included in publications that are released as part of that evaluation. Additional information will be provided in OPRE’s full information collection request.

Semi-annual progress reports are due within 30 days of the end of each 6-month reporting period.
